TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provided a high-resolution view of the lipid organization of a plasma membrane at an unprecedented level of complexity by combining 14 types of headgroups and 11 types of tails asymmetrically distributed across the two leaflets, closely mimicking an idealized mammalian plasma membrane.

TL;DR: This review describes the state-of-the-art of computer simulation studies of lipid membranes, showing that many important biological processes including self-aggregation of membrane components into domains, the formation of non-lamellar phases, and membrane poration and curving, are now amenable to detailed simulation studies.

TL;DR: Application of the new coarse-grained carbohydrate model to the oligosaccharides amylose and Curdlan shows a preservation of the main structural properties with 3 orders of magnitude more efficient sampling than the atomistic counterpart.

TL;DR: Simulations of PEO grafted to a nonadsorbing surface yield a mushroom to brush transition that is well described by the Alexander-de Gennes formalism.

TL;DR: The coarse-grained Martini force field is widely used in biomolecular simulations as discussed by the authors, which allows accurate predictions of molecular packing and interactions in general, exemplified with a vast and diverse set of applications, ranging from oil/water partitioning and miscibility data to complex molecular systems, involving protein-protein and protein-lipid interactions and material science applications as ionic liquids and aedamers.
